Absolutely incredible headline, but kind of a fucked up article. They're hurting camels to win a pagent, what the hell.

Now remember that child pageants exist.

Wikipedia recently picked me this article to rabbithole. These bots are supposed to replace child slaves because the usual adult camel riders just doesn't tickle the same, huh

Don't forget "driving lemmings over a cliff to make our documentary seem cooler while also spreading wild misinformation about the behavior of lemmings."

Did you know the biomass of farmed mammals is 30 times greater than wild mammals? Our industrialized suffering is enormous.

You show up to the camel show and your camel's got a body kit, a lift kit, a wing, and 3 fake Nitrous bottles and assure the judges "yeah its stock"

Hump Plumper is a low key insult or props. The tone and context are key.

Hump plumping sounds like part of a job description for a fluffer!

What is it about our species that we can’t just keep to ourselves? Was the “pageant” really necessary in the first place?
